Michael Behe.

In 2007,intelligent design advocateMichael Behe posted a series of "questions" and answers regarding his bookThe Edge of Evolution on hisAmazon author page (found at archive.org). In the series of questions and answers, he asked himself about his opinions onnaturalisticevolution, such as how powerful he thought it could be and what he perceived to be its limits. He also asked himself how ID differs fromcreationism, although in the field ofscience and increasingly incourts of law, there is no difference.

Many of Behe's arguments arepoints refuted a thousand times, whereas others appear to stem from him jumping to a conclusion when theevidence is neither conclusive nor convincing. This article looks into Behe's questions and answers and offers refutations.
